Additionally, the program receives four encore airings on the Newsmax 2 streaming platform. During the interview, Zelenskyy addressed allegations from Tucker Carlson that his government is persecuting Christians in Ukraine.
What They Said: “Tucker Carlson and other such guys, I think they’ve never been. I mean, I think these men have never been in Ukraine. How he can discuss what’s going on in Ukraine and to speak about what’s going on with the with religious people in Ukraine? We are very free.” -Volodymyr Zelenskyy
What Remains Unclear: Salem hasn’t indicated whether it plans to release additional portions of the interview ahead of Saturday’s broadcast. It’s also unclear whether Perkins addressed other aspects of the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia during the conversation.
What It Means: The interview gives Salem Radio Network an opportunity to bring an international newsmaker to its audience through its weekly political programming. Moreover, Zelenskyy’s response puts Carlson’s claims about religious freedom in Ukraine directly into the conversation. The exchange also provides listeners with an opportunity to hear the Ukrainian president address the allegations in his own words.
